Back to Lima

I didn´t think it´d happen but we´re actually excited to be back in
Lima! I´m digging the sea level, the fog, the warmth - and the food!
Our hostel is super clean and new, too - so that helps. We´ve got
just a few more days before we´re back in Chicago and although I´m sad
to stop our South American adventures, I´m pretty pumped to get home
and see everyone...and eat Chipoodles.

We´ll be in Chicago for a month and then we´re off to Europe for a
month so more blo----friendly updates and pictures in July.

For now we´re taking Lima at a sloooooow pace - catching up on
reading, relaxing and doing as little as possible each day. I´m just
getting over a cold and it´s a nice excuse to be ridiculously lazy.
We just posted our pics of Colca Canyon and Arequipa - including our
double decker bus tour of the city.

Colca Canyon was supposed to be a bit more amazing - but it turns out
it´s just a sickeningly early journey to see some big birds from kinda
far away with a billion other people. A bit too pricey for what it
is. However, on the way we got to hold and pet some big eagles and
MAN OH MAN was that awesome. Just beautiful. Also Jeff got to pet
what may be the cutest baby Alpaca on the planet.

We didn´t exactly want to take a night bus back here to Lima but ended
up being forced into it since that´s all the options any bus lines
had. And just when we met some bruised and limping gals who got in a
night bus crash. Fantastic - really instilled confidence in me the
whole time. We made it in one piece, though and Lima´s been good to
us so far. Off to a book exchange and maybe we´ll catch a movie
(preferably in English) - it´s Tuesday! The cheapest day at the
movies! (that´s right - the prices vary depending on the day -
strange, eh?)

See you Chicago people on Friday!
